Grow More Logs. Grow More Mushrooms. Grow More Varieties.

Ready for a bigger mushroom-growing project? The Deluxe Mushroom Log Growing Kit gives you the supplies to inoculate approximately fifteen 4-foot hardwood logs with Oyster mushrooms, Shiitake mushrooms, or a custom mix of both.

With 500 mushroom plugs, soy wax, a brush, drill bit, and complete instructions, this kit gives you everything you need for a substantial outdoor mushroom log garden — just add the logs and a standard drill.

Once established, your inoculated logs can produce seasonal mushroom harvests for years.

🍄 Choose Your Mushrooms

Choose all 500 plugs of one variety or select Custom Mix to build your own collection.

Oyster Mushrooms

  • Warm Blue Oyster
  • Brown Oyster
  • Cold Blue Oyster
  • Phoenix Oyster

Shiitake Mushrooms

  • Shiitake Warm
  • Shiitake Wild
  • Shiitake Wide Range
  • Shiitake Cold

🌈 Create a Custom Mix

Want more than one mushroom variety? Choose Custom Mix.

Your kit includes five packs of 100 plugs, for a total of 500 plugs.

Simply tell us in the notes at checkout how many 100-plug packs of each variety you'd like.

For example:

2 Warm Blue Oyster + 1 Phoenix Oyster + 1 Shiitake Wide Range + 1 Shiitake Cold = 500 plugs

Mix Oyster and Shiitake varieties or choose several strains within the same species.

📦 Everything You Need to Get Started

Each Deluxe Kit includes:

  • 500 mushroom plugs
  • Soy wax
  • Wax application brush
  • Drill bit
  • Complete growing instructions

You'll supply the fresh hardwood logs and a standard drill.

🌳 Enough for Approximately 15 Logs

The Deluxe Kit contains enough plug spawn to inoculate approximately fifteen 4-foot hardwood logs, depending on log diameter and inoculation spacing.

That makes this kit a great choice for larger backyard mushroom gardens, homesteads, farms, educational projects, or anyone who already knows that three mushroom logs are absolutely not going to be enough. 😂

🛠️ How It Works

1. Drill
Drill holes into freshly cut hardwood logs following the recommended spacing pattern.

2. Plug
Insert your colonized mushroom plugs into the holes.

3. Wax
Seal each inoculation hole with melted soy wax to help retain moisture and protect the spawn.

4. Colonize
Place the logs in a shaded outdoor location while the mycelium spreads throughout the wood.

5. Harvest
Once established, your logs can produce mushrooms seasonally for years.

🌦️ Mix Strains for a Longer Mushroom Season

Different Oyster and Shiitake strains prefer different fruiting temperatures.

Choosing several varieties can help spread your potential harvests across different parts of the growing season instead of relying on a single fruiting window.

⏳ Mushroom Logs Are a Long-Term Crop

Log-grown mushrooms require patience. Inoculated logs commonly need an extended colonization period and may take around a year before producing their first mushrooms.

Once established, however, properly maintained logs can continue producing seasonal harvests for several years.

📦 Important Shipping Information

If one of your selected varieties is unavailable, Mushroom Mountain will contact you to choose a substitute.

Because the kit ships together, we cannot split the individual varieties into separate shipments.
